Calgary United Soccer Association — Soccer

We enrolled our 6-year-old in the Calgary United Soccer Association's weekly soccer program, and overall, it was a solid experience. The staff, particularly Coach Jake, was really engaged and made an effort to connect with each player. My son loved the drills and especially enjoyed the scrimmages with his new friends. Outdoor time was a big plus, as he thrived in the fresh air and sunshine. However, we did encounter long lines during drop-off, which felt chaotic on the first day. The program was well-structured otherwise, and the small group size allowed for personalized attention. For active kids like mine, this program offers a fun way to develop soccer skills while making friends. I would recommend it, but be prepared for a busy start on the first day.

I enrolled my 6-year-old in the Calgary United Soccer Association program this summer, and overall, it’s been a solid experience. The coaching staff, particularly Coach Jamie, is very engaging and has a knack for making the kids excited about learning the game. Each week, my child comes home and talks about the skills they practiced, like dribbling and passing. Plus, the outdoor setting is a definite plus for energy-burning. However, I did notice that the pickup process can get crowded, especially during the last 15 minutes of the session, making it a bit chaotic. It might help to stagger pickup times or have more staff helping with that aspect. Despite that small annoyance, I feel my child is developing their soccer skills and making friends, which is a big win. I would recommend this program to other parents with active kids looking to get involved in soccer.
